IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-10-22
Abstract: In order to perform format conversion between
the formats of a plurality of files without any work by a
user, a file system (100) stores a relation between a
conversion originating file (130) and a conversion
destination file (131), and synchronously with an issue
of a file operation API, the format conversion processes
are executed. A user performs only the tasks essential
for an application, without taking into consideration
various necessary format conversions (either one-step or
multi-step). During the user task, it is not necessary
to designate a conversion originating file and a timing
of format conversion. A user can use always a latest
conversion destination file.

Abstract: A process for inhibiting the formation of carbon
and/or coke from a carbon-containing reactive gas
stream on the permeate side of an oxygen ion transport
membrane, or for increasing the oxygen partial pressure
thereon, by separating a feed gas stream to form an
oxygen-depleted gas stream on the retentate side and a
gas stream containing oxygen reaction products on the
permeate side. The permeate side is purged with the
carbon-containing reactive gas stream, and at least a
portion of the exhaust gas stream formed from the
reaction of the reactive gas stream with the separated
oxygen is recirculated to purge the permeate side.

Abstract: A material for a glove for handling cryogenic liquids which will not only be effective in
preventing contact with cold metal but which will also avoid the risk of holding
cryogenic liquid in contact with the skin. If liquid splashes onto bare skin the flash
gas released when the liquid approaches (to it) the extremely hot surface of the skin
prevents physical contact of the droplet. Consequently liquid which splashes or
even flows over our hand for a brief period will not cause injury. This bare skin can
be maintained by using a glove manufactured out of a hollow mono-filament fibre
such as terylene of about 1 mm in diameter. The fibre can be knitted into a glove
shape to form a very open but fairly thick weave. The thickness of material means
that cold pipes and fittings can be handled without coming into contact with the skin
with the knitted hollow mono-filament acting as an effective thermal insulator
whereas any liquid sprayed onto the gloved hand will not be trapped by the "cloth"
but may be shaken free.

Abstract: A carrier jet printer (40) includes an output characteristic conversion
circuit (41) for converting an input signal that includes information on dots to be
printed into a print signal that is necessary for printing by performing
predetermined conversion processing on the input signal, and a printer head (30)
for printing dots on a recording medium by forming an ink liquid for each dot by
mixing ink and a dilute based on the print signal so that the density of the ink
liquid corresponds to that of the dot, and jetting the ink liquid onto the recording
medium. The output characteristic conversion circuit (41) converts the input
signal into the print signal so that the printer head mixes the ink into the dilute
even in a case where printing is performed based on an input signal that includes
information on a dot of the lowest density.

Abstract: A web (14) of paper or cardboard is dried by passing over a support surface (22) to move with a porous support blanket (16) around a deflection roller (18) between the drying cylinders. Before the roller (18), it passes over a cohesive underpressure zone (24), with the suction box wall (26) and at least one other wall fitted with suction openings (34). The assembly has at least one additional suction opening slit (34). At the support, the web (14) is in contact with the smooth support surface (22), in its travel with the support blanket (16). At the leading end of the underpressure zone (24), a seal (28) acts with the support blanket (16) where the web (14) leaves the support surface (22). At least one additional suction opening (34) is at the leading end of the underpressure zone (24), as a slit opening across the direction (L) of web (14) travel and over part of the machine width. The additional suction opening slit (34) runs from a web leader or a starter edge strip zone of the web (14), across its direction (L) of travel. An additional suction opening can be at both side edges of the web (14), which can be outside the web width and matched to another paper edge. The additional slit suction opening can be aligned along the direction (L) of web travel. A slit suction opening (34), at the leading end of the underpressure zone (24) and across the direction (L) of web movement, is adjacent to a slit suction opening along the line (L) of web travel and opens into it. The first slit suction opening (32) projects beyond the web width, on both sides. The deflection roller (18) is perforated and/or ridged. The suction box (20) shrouds the zone of the deflection roller (18) which is not covered by the web (14) and the blanket (16).

Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing multi-threaded programs are provided. The
predisposed execution of multi-threaded programs is modified to cause and detect latent
unsafe accesses to a resource, such as a memory location. It is first determined that
unsynchronized accesses to a resource of interest are possible. When a thread requests to
access the resource, the thread is suspended. A subsequent thread that accesses the
resource awakens the suspended thread, thereby causing unsynchronized accesses to the
resource that may produce unpredictable results. The unsynchronized accesses can be
logged for viewing by a user.

Abstract: A technique for integrating an internal clock
signal with various function commands in an integrated
circuit device having an externally supplied clock
signal to create a set of command clocks which have
the same rising (or falling) edge time, duty cycle and
duration and are, therefore, inherently clocked to
ameliorate signal "race" and "skew" conditions
encountered in prior designs. The technique of the
present invention, therefore, improves overall device
operational speeds in executing commands by reducing
internal gate delays and resulting in faster data
access times in integrated circuit memory devices such
as synchronous dynamic random access memory ("SDRAM")
devices. Moreover, because the resultant design
provides faster operation times, lower cost process
technologies may be utilized to achieve substantially
comparable performance levels.

Abstract: An electric power meter measures the value of an electrical power parameter, e.g., Universal Apparent Power or Universal Power Factor, of an electrical power signal in the time domain by: calculating a first instantaneous power component as the product of an instantaneous voltage signal and an instantaneous current signal of the electrical power signal, carrying out a relative phase shift between the instantaneous voltage signal and the instantaneous current signal; and calculating a second instantaneous power component as the product of the relatively phase-shifted instantaneous voltage and instantaneous current signals. The first and second instantaneous power components are then RMS averaged to determine their respective magnitudes. Both of the calculated magnitudes are then used to determine the value of the electrical power parameter. The method can alternatively be implemented in the frequency domain to produce equivalent measurement values.
